proof OF genius. But write as your mother

import. And Lucy, dear child, mind your

arrested upon the charge of having COM

number of years: Among their last VIC
Tins was q young baron who recently won
the first prize in a lottery. His body was
found in the adjoining forest. Quite lately
a wealthy lady who was staying at the inn
suddenly disappeared, and the investiga-
ton which ensued led to the discovery of

rheumatism for three years, at times very
badly afflicted; was in that condition about
two weeks ago, when I got a bottle of DR..
Pardee's Rheumatic Remedy, and in three

not been troubled with it since I finished
this bottle. I feel like recommending it in
the highest terms, as 1 believe it will do
all that is claimed for 1t.

If single fact more than such as
were known was wanted to confirm the
confidence now felt in the jetties, the late
storm in the gulf has supplied it. 1t has
often been asked how the ietties would
stand one of the overwhelming tempests
that sweep over the gulf at intervals of
years. Such tempest we have recently
had, and the jetties came out of the con-
hict with which the hurricane forces as
sailed them stanch and victorious. The
storm went beyond any to which the Jet
ties had been composed, beyond even the
noted hurricane Of 1888.
Not only did the jetties at the mouth
of the Mississippi withstand the might Of
the storm, but those at the Sabine, not
half finished, did the same. They are
built on the same system as the Eads Jet
ties, and the might that held out at the
storm was the same fragile looking will
low mattresses that are used there. Mai.
Heuer, who has supervision of the work,
has carefully examined what effect it
has had upon the unfinished work. The
New Orleans Picayllne reports that Mai.
Heuer found the Sabine ietties entirely
uninjured, and no material change in the
depth of the channel between them.
They had withstood the fury Of a storm
that had swept away every human
structure upon the adjacent land. -

THE THIEvIsH PERSIAN SERVANT.
ssNTudakhil'' Levied ON Everything which
Is Bought for the Master.

ssHTudaIxhil'' Levied ON Everything which
Is Bought for the Master.
The thievish commission the Persian
servant exacts is known as ssmudakhil, !"
and its size is only limited by the servants
greed and his victines purse. Such
''mudakhil' is levied on everything which
is bought for or by the master, from a
house or horse to mosquito net. Even
the best and most trusted Persian servant
takes it, and it is, indeed, considered in
the light of one of the best established
and most honored institutions of the
country. No one can escape the ''mudak-
hil, f" not even the al powerful shah. His
servants rob and plInder him Just as per-
sistently as do those of the European
residents or travellers their employers.
But there is a fine distinction made. A
'snludalxhil' of 10 per cent. on tho pur-
chase price is very straightforward, hon.
orable and fair; one of 90 per cent. is
permissible; but one of 40 or 80 per
cent. is theft and brands the servant as
dishonest. Such a one loses caste and
could only be excused by his country
men if his victim be newly arrived
''ferenghi, +" European or American of
greenhorn propensities.
But even in that case it would be held
to be stretching the bow a little too far.
As long as he keeps within the bounds
just mentioned the Persian servant may
cheat and swindle his master every min
ute if he can, and he may proudly raise
his head and call himself an honest man
in Persia. The natives understand this
fine principle SO well that even If the
master should, in exceptional cases, take
the trouble to purchase the goods in
question himself, the dealer will always
in the purchase price include the s'mu-
dakhil' for the servant, to be paid the
latter on the nail as soon after the sale
as he chooses to call for it.
The Persian servant lie not very su-
perior article. He is lazy, dishonest,
slow, unreliable, untruthful and decidedly
slovenly in his personal habits. Besides,
he is possessed of one characteristic
which viii alone suffice to make him dis
tasteful to the average westerner-he is
so horribly familiar. He identifies him.
